Method
Preparation
- Pound the Pork: Start by placing the pork cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound them to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Season and Prepare: Season both sides of each cutlet generously with salt and pepper. Set up three shallow bowls for an efficient breading station: one with flour, another with the beaten eggs, and the last with breadcrumbs.
- Coat the Cutlets: Dredge each cutlet first in flour, shaking off excess. Then dip them into the beaten eggs, coating well before finally pressing them into the breadcrumbs to form a thick crust.
- Fry the Schnitzels: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded cutlets and fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Keep Them Warm: Transfer the crispy schnitzels to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm while you prepare your eggs.
- Fry the Eggs: Using the same pan, crack the four eggs in and fry sunny-side-up until the whites are set, and the yolks are still runny (about 2-3 minutes).
- Assemble & Serve: Top each schnitzel with a fried egg, two anchovy fillets, and half a tablespoon of capers. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs for easier coating. Prepare schnitzels in advance and freeze before frying for easy meal prep.
